I do not envy anyone that wants to make a high concept sci-fi epic. There are so many different pieces that need to fall into place in order to make something that's truly special and engaging. Most of the time, when you see a massive sci-fi fantasy epic come to theatres, it flounders and falls apart for a couple of the same reasons. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Transcendence, and Tomorrowland were filled with such potential and promise, but the execution left a lot to be desired.
Most of the time, these movies crumble under the weight of their own premise. How could any movie possibly live up to the lofty expectations that the trailers and plot synopsis drip fed to us? A Wrinkle in Time is the latest sci-fi epic delivered to theatres, but this time bestowed upon us by the glorious House of Mouse.
I'm going to cut right to the chase; A Wrinkle in Time is a complete mess of a movie. I would call it a disaster, but it's not special enough to be that big of a failure.
